BEWARE OF GOOD IDEAS — DIDI-OMAH AUGUSTINE CHINAZAEKPERE

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is destruction (Proverbs 14 vs. 12).

In Genesis 13 vs. 10 — 12; Lot, Abram's nephew choose a fertile plains of Jordan valley — with beautiful vegetable, rivers flowing through. As the story narrowed down to Genesis 14 vs. 1 — 24, you will battles at the plains.

Also Genesis 19 vs. 1 — 29, the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah, which led to the fall of lot and his numerous possessions.

This is what most people are doing today. The business is good, but is it profitable. Beware of good ideas, seek profitable ideas.

Wisdom is profitable to direct (Ecclesiastes 10 vs. 10); for the blessings of God make you wealthy, adding no sorrow (Proverbs 10 vs. 22).

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent (Proverbs 28 vs. 20).

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches (Proverbs 13 vs. 7).

Before entering into any venture or business or investment; look at their failures, processes, structures, systems, models and profit stance. There must be transparency and is true in its system; the business may be good in nature, but lead to destruction in the end.

The fastest way to lose your money, energy and time — is investing in what you don't understand. You have to learn, before you earn; you must understand the business, know the basics — before setting out for it, have proper knowledge of the business as time goes on.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding (Proverbs 4 vs. 7) — so you must understand what you are doing, in order to achieve success.

Keep educating yourself, get insights in the field, where you belong. Have the end in mind, before starting — in business, they call it "business exist" — how you exist the business in the future. “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit” (Ecclesiastes 7 vs. 8).

But you need to start with what you have, the knowledge, the resources, the little that is availiable for you — start with one that have profitable ending — not good concept at the beginning.

Adonay can never begin a journey or project with you, without having the end in his vision, plan and mind — check the Bible, starting from after the flood to Abraham to our days, now, it is still the same process.

Beware of good ideas, seek that which is profitable, it may be complex, simple, stupid, foolish in nature — whatsoever — as far it is of good report — having profitable outcome — just do it! 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you (Philippians 4 vs. 8-9).

My advice is before starting any venture, business, career path, project, investment and whatever — see the end from the beginning, set the end of it in plan, have the end in mind. Never you start what you can never finish, never complete; and never enter what you can not leave — so when starting a business, have the business exist in setting.”
